Bouquets et Frondaisons (Flowers and Foliage), Pl. 3
Third plate of album with 20 pochoir pattern plates, titled "Bouquets et Frondaisons" (Flowers and foliage), created by Émile-Allain Séguy and published in Paris by Charles Massin and in New York by Brentano's around 1925. The plate contains four ornamental designs, possibly for textiles or wallpapers, with lively, semi-abstract motifs inspired from nature. The first design is made up of large, stylized flowers with white petals with blue lines, around large stamina, executed with black and shades of brown, and semi-abstract, three-point leaves, colored with purple and brown, on an olive green ground. The second design is made up of thin, vertical, undulating branches with semi-abstract leaves, colored with purple, and flowers made up of overlapping rings, colored with black, blue, red, and orange, on a blue background with overlapping scales, outlined with green. The third design is made up of stylized leaves, colored with blue and white, and with green and black eyes on one corner, outlined with white. The fourth design is made up of vertical undulating branches with leaves, executed with black and two shades of brown, separated by bundles of semi-abstract fruits, colored with purple, orange, and brown, on a greenish-blue ground.
